The second question of Fatwa No. ( 3823 )
Q2: Is it permissible for part of the mahr to be paid in advance, such that, for example, ten thousand riyals are paid as an advance mahr, and ten thousand riyals, for example, are deferred until the case of her divorcing him without a valid Islamic reason?
A2: It is permissible for the mahr to be paid in full in advance, or deferred in full, or for part of it to be paid in advance and part of it deferred to a specific term. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
